An outstanding Rosato showcasing just how suited Gaglioppo is to making pink wines.

Aydie 2016/21 Pacherenc Du Vic Bilh Swee
$49.99A silvery yellow, this wine is perfectly brilliant and clear. Exotic fruits and honeyed notes on the nose, a combination of delicacy and strength. The lively attack on the palate is in complete balance with the rich, fat structure. The finish is a caress of citrus fruits and a long vanilla sweetness, typical of grapes dried on the vine. This sweet wine has enormous potential. To be drunk cold at 8° to 10°C and pairs perfectly with foie gras and cheeses.

Clos De La Roilette 2023 Fleurie Tardive
$56.99“Coudert’s brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet featuring raspberries, mulberries, rose petals, violets and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul—its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuvée, not to a later harvest—its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth.” – 95 Points Wine Advocate (2018 Vintage), August 2019
Clos Cibonne 2022 Cuvee Tradition Rouge

It shows sensational freshness, and creates a long lasting finish that literally meanders for minutes after each delicious sip.

La Rivolta 2022 Coda Di Volpe Taburno
$44.9993 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”

La Rivolta 2019 Aglianico Del Taburno
$49.99100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas.

Still very young and will age well.”
